Well, sadly that is a decision they can make if they so choose. In
fairness, I'd expect them to detect the various utilities published by
sysinternals as well. While we're detecting greyware to further inflate
actual detection numbers, lets go ahead and add detection for format.com
and fdisk as well; as those are certainly capable of maliciousness.
Especially the system builder versions. heh.

Yes, Kurt, I was just being very sarcastic. I understand your point, and
I'm sure you understand mine.
